In recent years, has there been a more exciting show to watch than Yellowstone? The first episode, way back in 2018, attracted a respectable 2.8 million viewers. But this latest season the Western—led by the remarkable Kevin Costner—broke records. Season 4’s premiere nearly tripled the 2018 numbers, no doubt goosed by the question we were all asking after the third season’s action-packed finale: Who shot John Dutton? And the next finale added an extra million live viewers to total over 9 million—the most watched Yellowstone episode ever. The Dutton clan is giving America even more of what it wants: The upcoming season will be supersized, with 14 episodes instead of the usual 10. It shouldn’t surprise you, then, that Yellowstone rightfully has earned our golden seal of approval. The blockbuster…

@TVGMMattRoush Not to spoil anything for those who haven’t watched, but doesn’t the end of Netflix’s Ozark just scream for a sequel? They could fastforward a few years and even use different actors should the original cast choose not to return. —JV MATT ROUSH: There has already been vague chatter about a spinoff, but should it occur, it’s more likely to be something closer to Fargo, where each season (or iteration) tells a distinct and separate story within the same universe. Which isn’t to say we’ve necessarily seen the last of the Byrdes, but with evil having triumphed in their storyline, I’d expect Ozark to move on to new horizons. Congratulations to the cast of Young Sheldon on their 100th episode. With CBS embracing so many versions of shows with the…

HOW CLOSE ARE 2018 Daytona 500 champion Austin Dillon and his racing team’s lead tire carrier, Paul Swan? About as close as lug nuts to a wheel. Hardworking teammates on the NASCAR Cup Series circuit and hard-partying partners off the track, the onetime housemates were groomsmen in each other’s weddings. And their wives? That’s a different kind of bond. Whitney Dillon and Mariel Swan “come as a package deal” is how Paul’s mom described the longtime best friends at the Swan wedding. Put the four of them together and you get motorsports musketeers who love few things more than getting up to “something pretty hilarious,” says Austin. And that’s what fans are apt to see in Life in the Fast Lane, a new reality series following the foursome as they…

But Dolores died in the fight, and the unchained masses were torching skyscrapers. The opener picks up seven years later. “Some things are very, very, very different. Some things have stayed the same,” says executive producer Lisa Joy.
